During the 2016 NFL season, San Francisco 49ers QB Colin Kaepernick set off a wave of emotions when he was viewed kneeling in protest of the National Anthem. It slowly became a National phenomenon, as other players in the league began doing it, then other athletes in different sports joined in as well.

The trend died down once the new year began, until the Legends Football League (formally known as the Lingerie Football League) started up and kicked that trend back into full gear.

Before a game against the Omaha Heart, Los Angeles Temptation players Sherri Awagah and Danielle Harvey decided to kneel as they protested the ceremonial National Anthem.
